Travel to Europe, Bring your Cel, Don't go broke!!!

There's a great story over at Technology News World that talks about how to save yourself tonnes of money on cel roaming charges when travelling through Europe!

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Switch out your SIM card -- the little chip in the phone that carries your account information -- for a prepaid local one, and pay local rates.

Don't be intimidated by the prospect. The SIM card, or Subscriber Identity Module, is almost always located in the phone's battery compartment. You'll probably have to remove the battery to get at it, but you don't need any special tools. If you can't figure it out, get a European to show you -- they're used to switching SIM cards when they switch carriers.
